Sweeping: reforms In the methods of onducting the locker clubs and caba rets of Atlanta have been promised by Recorder Broyles, who has joined chief Beavers In the warfare. The Recorder impressed upon the police the necessity for continued ac tivity against the clubs and amuse ment resort, declaring there are many dives in Atlanta that should be abol ished. “We are depending upon the police to do it,” he declared. “1 will do my part :f the police will arrest the men who run these places and bring them here. I will see that they are pun ished A disorderly place is an abomination to a community, and one of ttie worst evils we encounter.” It is understood that Chief Beav ers and Recorder Broyles will com bine with the Grand Jury and aid that body in an investigation, which. It is said, will be undertaken. beavers Says He Has tvidence. It is probaoie mat the Uranu Jury investigation will be based on the recent activities of detectives and members of the vice squad, and the evidence which Chief Beavers says nis men have obtained against the places. Members of the Grand Jury refused Friuay morning to discuss the pro posed inquiry, and it is not known what methods the Grand Jury wid pursue. At a meeting late Thurs day the investigation was made he subject of extended discussion and suggestion, and the outcome of the agitation probably will be the ap pointment of a committee to visit ‘.he clubs and endeavor to determine whether there is sufficient violation of tiie law to warrant the indictment of the managers of the clubs. Another secret meeting will be h ?ld Friday, and it is probable that some plan of conducting the investigation will be outlined. Chief Beavers and Chief of Detec tives Lanford have declared they will continue their espionage over the locker clubs and cabarets, and that every effort will be made to detect violations. Seven Manager? Face Charge*. The test of strength between the police and the clubs will come at the trial of the seven managers who were arrested several days ago and against whom Chief Beavers and Chief Lan ford declare that they have strong evidence, gathered by the detectives and the vice wquad men. Judge Broyles' entry into the fieL followed a raid by members of Chief Beavers’ vice squad on a cabaret show hi Broad and Walton streets and the arrest of B. E. Shirley, who claims to he a business man; Evelyn Gray, who says she is a saleswoman, and E. T. Howell, manager of the place. The Recorder fined Shirley and the Grav woman $25.75 each on charges of disorderly conduct, and held How- e . to the higher courts in bonds of $500,‘charged with maintaining a d's orderly house In a restaurant. Judge Scores Cabarets. Prior to the sentencing of Miss Gray and Shirley, Judge Broyles de livered a lecture to them, warning them to stay away from such places and warning Howell that improper conduct at his place ‘must cease. • I am not astonished that such aces exist in our midst,” said the Recorder, “but 1 am deeply grievea, more deeply grieved than words can -.ell. Our morals are being raised :o a plane where such places are repul sive, and we can not suffer them to exist.” Four druggists back at their re- 1 spective places of business Friday morning resolved to steer clear of , any more complications with the i pure food laws, after a hearing Thurs-! day in which Commissioner Price, i who had summoned them, accepted as satisfactory their explanation of 1 certain unintended violations.
